First day of the rest of your life

Absolutely gorgeous Todd. The delicacy of the temperature shifts is really lovely. Of course, the other thing I love is the quiet serenity and the feeling that there is a "back story" here. I also enjoyed seeing the under painting posted on your other blog-it looks somewhat similar to what I do. Wonderful work!

Thanks so much. There is a back story to this, you are very observant. I talk about it a little on my other blog but in a nut shell it's about the quiet and humble reflection of turning forty or aging in general. (Note the indication of the birth date on the side of the boat) the sun starting a new day on one side and the dark shadow casting on the other.. and the title itself. Blah-blah-blah...I really loved painting it. All the best to you,Todd

Belated birthday wishes Todd and a fantabulous new painting to go with it! These little boats pack a punch as subject matter and you take it even further with your brushwork and palette. All the best, Cooper
